Abstract

Thorough academic research and deadline-focused journalism don’t seem the best of bedfellows yet Tim Newburn combined the two to produce a joint investigative project with The Guardian newspaper. Here he explains to the LSE BPP Managing Editor Mark Carrigan and LSE PPG Managing Digital Editor Cheryl Brumley how he did it. This is the first of a three part multimedia project reflecting on the riots which will feature on the site.
